sigh i guess so still still think were pill popping idiots but any trucker knows about this fever even after 5 million miles 2 strokes and going blind in one eye (it took me off the road) i still wake late at night wishing i was still out there in the wind running from sun to sun
its a fever with no cure. but a big rig under your ass and the roar of a desil in your ears is the only treatment

1 million miles and it still fills like a drug you can't live without in your life.and longer the road the better it is till to burns you and you want to go home. but two days later you need it again.MSJR

This is what real country sounds like. Love the Bakersfield sound.

You should hear Joe Ely's version-it's not on YT and I don't know why.

I got the fever when I was just a kid now at 43 I had to stop driving because of health issues but I sure miss the road

Only us truckers truly understand this song. No one else does and that's ok.

I'm dying to hear him sing Out Among the Stars, but this is my next favorite...thank-you so much

@jim3557 , hats off to you jim3557. this country owes the trucker a debt of gratitude for all their hard miles.

i have had the fever since 1985. just came off the road last year due to PTSD. I miss it everyday.

I drove for 40 yrs. Hated it all the time. Expecially the ice. Why any man would do that I just don't know. God I miss it!

After 40 years in the trucks running the snow packed Rocky Mountains, I can't get them out of my heart. I'm still out there in my dreams..and I'll always be there. It's who I am.
I have always liked this song. Did Merle write this White Line Fever?
